A Disgusting Media Lie - TPM Publishes Bogus Story Citing Texas Racist as Tea Party Leader
BigGovernment.com ^ | Feb. 12, 2010 | Jim Hoft

Dale Robertson is a racist and a kook.

Robertson carried this “n*gg*r” sign at a Texas tea party in March of 2009 and was asked to leave… But he won’t go away.

Andrew Ian Dodge wrote about the Robertson problem at Pajamas Media:

Dale is very much not a hero to those who first encountered him in February of last year. He has been described as a fake, a con artist, and worse by frustrated tea party groups across the land. Houston’s, in particular, is so upset at being associated with the man that they sent out the following press release:

1. He is NOT a member of our Leadership team.

2. He owns a website with which we have never been affiliated.

3. He has never been a part of organizing any of the Tea Party rallies in the Houston area, or any other area that we can find.

But, that won’t stop liberal media hacks from repeating this lie and smearing the Tea Party movement.

Today TPM Muckraker used this racist Texan again to smear the tea party movement.

‘Warning: Tea Party In Danger’: Leader Slams Palin As ‘Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing’

A prominent Tea Party leader from Texas is warning that the movement “is becoming nothing more than a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party,” and slamming Sarah Palin as representing “a growing insider’s attack to the heart of the Tea Party.”

Dale Robertson, the founder of TeaParty.org, is just the latest Tea Partier to express concern that the movement is being hijacked by the GOP.

Yeah, I was going to say you can tell they are lying when their lips are moving, but most of them talk out of their a**...

The best part of the story is that fact that Mother Jones has actually called out the Washington Post for claiming this guy is a Tea Party leader rather than what he really is: a media whore.

This guy Robertson has two college degrees, so I doubt he would misspell the n* word in the first place. I have always thought that this “photo” is a little suspect.

OK, so I know you can never ever use the n-word if you are white. And I know you can’t sneak it through by misspelling it.

But his sign says that congress is like a slaveowner, and taxpayers are like slaves. That isn’t a bad message, right?

My point being, is there some other evidence that the guy is a racist? Because he didn’t use the n-word to denigrate black people.

I thought Robertson was an 80 some year old western actor! That is what he wrote in an email I got from him about 2 months ago. That guy is not that old.????

On his website, this sign is different. One of these images has been manipulated.

teaparty.org. I looked at it a bit and couldn’t find any racist remarks, or anything that looked anti-tea-party, but I didn’t look very hard.

He did attack Sarah Palin for her support of John McCain, so obviously he will be skewered by some people. But he was disliked before that, apparently for that sign, although that looks like a teachable moment, not a game-changer. Unless he was shouting racist stuff.

“Dale Robertson is a family man living in Texas with his wife and five children. He is a retired military officer having served in the Marines and the Navy. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Washington in Political Science, as well as an Associates Degree in Engineering from Southwest College. Dale Robertson is volunteering full-time for the Tea Party.”

He apparently started something he calls “teaparty.org”, and considers himself the President of it. I’m not sure how you know who is “in” the tea party. They don’t seem highly organized.

That picture doesn’t make sense; the other one did. Neither seems racist, the one just breaks the rule that you can’t use the n-word unless you are black. But slave-owner/sinner doesn’t make sense, slave-owner/slave is what he was going for, and “n-word” is associated with being a slave.

See 15, the same picture from his website except the sign is different.
